    So I got these at work today. But someone informed me they might be fake. I was wondering why the 1878 looked different and is even a little bit thicker then the other ones. So what's everyone's thoughts on them could they be fake? Also I got a 1926 peace dollar.

    Not my area of specialty, but the 1926 Peace definitely looks problematic. It says "In COD We Trust" and I am pretty sure we are not a Fish Nation. :D

    The "W" in "We Trust" also looks misshapen.

    Where do you work that you got all these 100-year old coins ?

    Hey! I would measure and weigh them ladies. Sounds like Chinese haul. How much were they?

    The 1926 Peace is definitely fake. As mentioned, you need to weigh the others, look in your Red Book, use your digital scale.

    How much did you pay for the Carson City dollars? If you paid less than $100 for them each then probably counterfeit. The CCs in that condition are running $300-400.
